The price of "gold", which is said to be strong in an emergency, is rising due to the tightening situation in Ukraine.
The gold futures price on the 14th was 1 gram = 6800 yen, the highest price in about a year and a half.
In the futures trading of "gold" conducted on the Osaka Exchange, the price of "Kotoshi December", which is the center of the transaction due to the increase in buy orders, reached 6866 yen per gram at the closing price on the 14th.
This is the second highest price ever recorded in August, which is 7,000 yen, and is the highest price in about a year and a half.
The price of gold has been on the rise since the beginning of this year, but the background to this is that investors are relatively safe while the prices of stocks and government bonds are on the decline due to the movement of monetary tightening in Europe and the United States. It seems that the money may have been transferred to the money to be paid.
In addition, the price of gold, which is said to be strong in an emergency, has risen further in response to the tightening situation in Ukraine.
Market officials said, "The situation in Ukraine is highly uncertain, and there is a view that gold futures prices will continue to rise."
